GRH 329 I Will Not Forget Thee

(1)
Sweet is the promise, ‘I will not forget thee,’
Nothing can molest or turn my soul away;
E’en tho’ the night be dark within the valley,
Just beyond is shining one eternal day.
I will not forget thee or leave thee;
In my hands I’ll hold thee, in My arms I’ll fold thee;
I will not forget thee or leave thee;
I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.’

(2)
Trusting the promise, ‘I will not forget thee,’
Onward will I go with songs of joy and love;
Tho earth despise me, tho my friends forsake me,
I shall be remembered in my home above.
I will not forget thee or leave thee;
In my hands I’ll hold thee, in My arms I’ll fold thee;
I will not forget thee or leave thee;
I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.’

(3)
When at the golden portals I am standing,
All my tribulations, all my sorrows past,
How sweet to hear the blessed proclamation,
‘Enter, faithful servant, welcome home at last!’
I will not forget thee or leave thee;
In my hands I’ll hold thee, in My arms I’ll fold thee;
I will not forget thee or leave thee;
I am thy Redeemer, I will care for thee.’
